I'm a demon cultivator

Chapter 218: The Immortal Descends to Earth and Invites Demon Lord Tan to Enter the Tribulation
The art of attracting immortals was created by Daozu, but among his three thousand disciples, only twelve of them had mastered this art. Two of the four true immortal masters in the Immortal Court were disciples of Daozu.

However, although they are both disciples of Daozu, their views on Xianyin are completely different.

One who never uses this Taoist technique.

The other one regarded this Taoist technique as his own reliance for achieving enlightenment.

And the reason why he could get to this point was indeed because of the Taoist technique of Immortal Guidance. He plundered the fortunes of his disciples, various geniuses, and fellow Taoists, and transformed himself from an ordinary Earthly Evil True Immortal to a level close to that of the Taoist.

Therefore, even though he has now become one of the four true immortal masters in the Immortal Court, he still remembers his original intention and works hard to cultivate the Immortal Guide.

Even if there is no harvest for tens of thousands of years, I will never be discouraged.

This is the origin of the Immortal Guide that Zijin Immortal took from the Immortal Court. However, Zijin Immortal did not fully understand the nature of this Immortal Guide. He only knew that it could completely determine a person's future destiny.

Therefore, Immortal Zi Jin often takes advantage of it.

But he can use this magic guide at will.

Therefore, although he was shocked to find that the immortal guidance he had sent down was swallowed by a strange creature, the Purple Gold Immortal did not care at all.

Even more than this, the Purple Gold Immortal was more concerned about the changes taking place in the Four Heavenly Pillars area at this time.

I only heard him ask: "Duan Wu, when has the progress in the lower realm ended?"

A figure heard the news and rushed over quickly, then knelt on the ground. After completing the ceremony, he answered: "My lord, we are only one step away from the birth of the immortal race, and then we can be legitimate."

"In that case, I'll go into the human world to prevent them from killing too many again." Immortal Zi Jin didn't expect the progress to be so fast. He had only comprehended the way of the sword for a moment, but the lower world was about to usher in a new era.

After hearing this, Duan Wu Duan knew that his master was going to descend to the mortal world to transcend the tribulation. However, although he understood it in his heart, he said, "Master, please be merciful!"

After all, he was just a fairy servant. As a servant, he didn't need to have too many thoughts and just said the same thing as everyone else.

Soon after, a purple-gold light fell from Yuanshi Heaven.

Soon, from the angle of this purple-gold light, the four pillars of heaven could already be seen.

Therefore, the purple-gold light disappeared instantly.

Because the four pillars that can be seen no matter where you are, although they seem to support the Yuanshi Heaven, but every True Immortal knows that the Yuanshi Heaven does not need these four pillars to support itself.

The Pillar of Heaven, named after the sky, is used to suppress the "human spirit" from the secular world.

This place is very close to the "human spirit". If this purple-gold light can retrieve the Tao fruit that was cut off by itself, then there is no need to be so afraid of the "human spirit".

Although "human spirit" can affect the Heavenly Immortals, it takes a very long time. Therefore, the Heavenly Immortals can be exposed to "human spirit" within a certain period of time and keep themselves safe.

However, no Tiangang Zhengfa True Immortal would do that.

But now, this ray of purple-gold light has not yet taken back the Dao fruit that he had cut off at that time, so of course he has to be careful.

Soon, with the appearance of a strange phenomenon of purple air coming from the east for three thousand miles, a woman who was about to give birth gave birth to a baby boy. As soon as the baby boy was born, the woman died of dystocia, and then her father, brother, sister, etc. all died strangely one after another, and finally only a few loyal servants were left.

Therefore, everything that happened to this family had no effect on the newborn baby boy.

This baby boy was certainly extraordinary, but because the immortals had not yet been born, he did not show much extraordinaryness.

……

At this time, the land of the Four Pillars was in chaos.

A wind started to blow from the spiritual realm of the South Gate Tianzhu Land, and then quickly spread to the entire Four Tianzhu Land in a very short time.

All the cultivation families with some background have now gone into hiding. And all the major immortal sects have also issued a mountain closure order, and the disciples within the sect are not allowed to enter but are allowed to leave.

Anyone who goes out at this time will be regarded as committing a serious offense and will be ordered not to return to the mountain.

Originally, only the Silver Dragon Taoist Palace and the Fengtian Taoist Palace opened their mountain gates, but at this time, the disciples and monks of the other thirty-four Taoist palaces came out one after another.

However, although these Taoist monks walked out of the mountain gate, they did not make any noise. They were just preparing something in various places in the Four Heavenly Pillars.

Because the time is not yet ripe.

The disappearance of these major forces undoubtedly made many independent cultivators happy. They scrambled for elixirs, magic tools, and skills that were difficult to obtain in normal times, and each of them believed that their luck had come.

But because of this, killing is happening every moment.

If the cultivation families, immortal sects, and Taoist palaces all appeared, then the independent cultivators might unite and face the outside world together. But when these three disappeared, the infighting among the independent cultivators would begin.

If there is no external enemy, they will fight against each other. It has always been like this.

All this developed very quickly, as if there were invisible hands pushing it all behind the scenes.

Not to mention other places in the Four Pillars of Heaven, in the spiritual realm, Ning Shuqi and Jun Zimo could not help but be surprised and confused by the changes in this place.

The land of the Four Pillars had actually become like this just because of their one attack?

Can they have such a great influence?
Although Ning Shuqi and Jun Zimo were both very confident, they were not confident to this extent.

So, the two of them once again put aside their prejudices.

"Friend Daoist Ning."

"Friend Jun Dao."

Jun Zimo and Ning Shuqi greeted each other, as if they were still in Shangqing Temple and Xituo Mountain.

"I wonder what Fellow Daoist Ning thinks about this matter?" Jun Zimo was the first to ask, without any hesitation, and went straight to the point.

Because there is no point in covering up.

"Don't you already have the answer in your mind, Fellow Daoist Jun? After all, when you and I were still unable to come to the land of the Four Pillars, we had seen a similar scene. I haven't forgotten that Fellow Daoist Long Zhangyuan." Ning Shuqi said.

As Ning Shuqi said this, his face was already gloomy.

But this gloom was not directed at Jun Zimo, because Jun Zimo's expression at this moment was not much better. He understood what Ning Shuqi meant.

At that time, Long Zhangyuan had a smooth journey, but everything related to him had actually been arranged by Tu Jianshan long ago.

Long Zhangyuan was like a puppet in a puppet show.

And now, the two of them are like puppets in a puppet show!
"I'm afraid the reason why both of us can ascend to heaven is just for this arrangement?" Jun Zimo said with a wry smile. He has always been proud of himself, but this pride was almost wiped out when Tan Shuchang achieved immortality.

The discovery he made now undoubtedly made Jun Zimo feel uncomfortable and extremely mocking.

"Both you and I can be arranged like this, then...what about Tan Shuchang?" Jun Zimo suddenly said.

"Friend Jun, you want to know whether this Demon Lord Tan has ascended to heaven or not, right?" Ning Shuqi said.

Jun Zimo nodded.

He once told the fairy Wanchen that Tan Shuchang had not yet ascended to heaven. But in fact, that was just his guess, because during the time he practiced in Shushan Immortal Sect, he knew two ways to ascend to heaven.

One is to ascend with three certificates, which means that the merits are complete, and the Four Pillars of the Sky will actively accept each other; the other is like the two of them, who ascended to the Four Pillars of the Sky because they were chosen.

Before he ascended, the column of light when Tan Shuchang left was earth-shaking, but Jun Zimo actually had doubts in his heart as to whether Tan Shuchang actually ascended.

Because the vision of Tan Shuchang's ascension was completely different from the visions of the ascension of the ancestors recorded in Shangqing Temple and Xituo Mountain.

At that time, Tan Shuchang's cultivation had only just reached the realm of immortality.

Therefore, Jun Zimo believed that Tan Shuchang had not ascended to the sky at that time, and there was a high probability that he was hiding himself. Although Jun Zimo could not find a reasonable reason for Tan Shuchang to do so in his speculation, Jun Zimo would not believe all the actions of a demon cultivator.

Although practicing magic is not necessarily improper, who would practice magic?

"In Tujian Mountain's arrangement at that time, Tan Shuchang was just a stepping stone for Long Zhangyuan to become famous, but in the end he broke through. I wonder if you and I can follow his example?" Jun Zimo said. This was also the reason why he suddenly mentioned Tan Shuchang.

"It only took Tan Shuchang four years to break the three hundred years of restrictions on heaven and earth and achieve immortality. If you and I can become immortals within four years, I think we can break through like him..." Ning Shuqi said this in a deep voice when he heard this.

"..." Jun Zimo was stunned, and his pupils shrank instantly. So he thought for a moment and said, "Do you remember the two blood-colored shadows on our bodies when we first ascended?"

"I remember that Brother Baidao said it was an evil creature in this world." Ning Shuqi nodded. Because he had the same doubts as Jun Zimo about whether Tan Shuchang had ascended to heaven, so although he had some speculations at the time, he suppressed that thought afterwards.

Rather than believing that it was done by Tan Shuchang, it is better to believe that it was a special evil spirit in this place of four pillars.

After all, this is a place that only the Three Certified Ancestors can come to after they ascend to heaven, so it is reasonable that there are such evil spirits.

"Brother Baidao didn't say it was from the land of the Four Pillars, so do you think there is a possibility that it was actually the magical power of Tan Shuchang? The strange phenomenon when he ascended to heaven did not quite match the records left by the ancestor when he ascended to heaven, but what if he came to this world through you and me afterwards?" Jun Zimo said.

Hearing this, Ning Shuqi was stunned. He said hesitantly, "Can he catch up?"

"He practiced for four years and achieved the first level of immortality. Before he achieved the second level, he killed all the ancestors who came back. Although the ancestors' strength was also limited by the heaven and earth at that time, it was still incredible. After all, the ancestors had practiced in this land of four pillars for three hundred years! Therefore, if he has done so many impossible things, why can't he do one more thing like this?" Jun Zimo said. At this moment, he was somewhat desperate and wanted to try any possible means.

"Friend Jun, do you mean that we should go find Tan Shuchang? But we have also come into contact with many independent cultivators, some from the Spirit Realm, some from the Five Spirit Realms, the Fa Realm, etc., but I have never heard of any independent cultivator with the one-point immortality named Tan Shuchang?" Ning Shuqi shook his head slightly, "As long as the independent cultivators here can obtain the one-point immortality, they are all famous in many realms. There is no reason why no one has heard of the name of Tan Shuchang."

As for the change of name, they also took it into consideration, so they specially inquired about the magic cultivators among the scattered cultivators. However, although there are many magic cultivators who have not completed their cultivation due to some special circumstances, it is extremely rare to find a magic cultivator who can prove immortality.

After all, most of the demon cultivators are crazy. Once they achieve enlightenment, not only can they not please heaven, they can't even pass their own test.

Cultivation is not just about accumulating strength and improving combat power.

What's more, too much is as bad as too little!

"Fellow Daoist Ning, we must be getting stuck in a dead end. If you and I found ourselves in this place of ascension, our first choice would probably be to become independent cultivators, but he is Tan Shuchang..." Just like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, Jun Zimo couldn't help but praise Tan Shuchang.

"Friend Jun, are you saying that Tan Shuchang actually infiltrated the cultivation family?"

"There are also circles like alchemy and weapon refining, and cultivation shouldn't stop at one certificate..."

After changing their mindset, Ning Shuqi and Jun Zimozhe found out the exact whereabouts of Tan Shuchang. They also learned about it from a sword cultivator from Shushan Xianmen.

Shushan Immortal Gate has been closed, and the sword cultivator could not stand the boredom in the mountain, so he did not go back immediately. However, he was afraid that his life would be in danger, so after some thought, he simply came to find Ning Shuqi and Jun Zimo.

"I have never heard of a casual cultivator named Tan Shuchang who has entered the ranks of the immortals. However, I do know of a person named Tan Shuchang who has achieved the second level of enlightenment. He is the mountain patroller at Tiangui Ridge in Mangshan, and is backed by the Red Lotus family." The sword cultivator said, and seeing that Ning Shuqi and Jun Zimo's expressions had changed, he said, "Because Tan Shuchang has obtained the inheritance of the calligraphy immortal of my Shushan Immortal Sect, many brothers have gone to find Tan Shuchang and want to invite him back. You two have asked him about his whereabouts, but do you know?"

"Isn't he in Tiangui Ridge?"

Jun Zimo and Ning Shuqi were a little surprised. After all, they had already told him where they worked, so why were they asking such a question?
"This Tan Shuchang is the patrol officer of Tiangui Ridge. But what you two junior brothers don't know is that every time those senior brothers went there, Tan Shuchang disappeared, so they have never been able to invite him back to the immortal gate." The sword cultivator shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Jun Zimo and Ning Shuqi immediately realized that this Tan Shuchang, the patroller of Tiangui Ridge in Mangshan, was the Demon Lord Tan whose ascension they had initially doubted!
After confirming this, Ning Shuqi and Jun Zimo naturally felt very complicated. But soon, they both couldn't help but feel happy.

After all, the two of them couldn't break this game.

But that doesn’t mean that Demon Lord Tan can’t break it!

So, the two of them thanked the sword cultivator from Shushan Immortal Sect and rushed to Mangshan.

"Fellow Daoist Ning, what should we do if Tan Shuchang is unwilling to come out of seclusion?" As the saying goes, worry makes one confused. After placing a glimmer of hope on Tan Shuchang, Jun Zimo was inevitably a little confused and uneasy.

"Friend Jun, you and I only need to go to Mangshan. No matter whether we succeed or not, whether we can meet Tan Shuchang or not, it means that Tan Shuchang has already fallen into disaster..." Ning Shuqi said in a faint voice.

This can be seen from the practices of the major families and immortal gates. The immortal gates and the families have backgrounds to rely on, so it is feasible to close the door. What can Tan Shuchang rely on?

He did not doubt Tan Shuchang's ability and talent.

The reason why Ning Shuqi had this idea was simply because, in this world, cultivation is not based on personal effort or ability, but on one's background.

One's background not only determines the upper limit of a monk, but also the lower limit of a monk, as well as the different treatments a monk can receive when encountering different situations.

If not, why would at least half of those independent cultivators here who have reached the level of endless cultivation be demon cultivators?

Because if you don't follow the right path and serve as a negative example, you won't even have a chance to stand out.

Soon, Ning Shuqi and Jun Zimo arrived at Tiangui Ridge in Mangshan. They naturally did not see Tan Shuchang, but they both left their visiting cards.
